Android permissions

For Knowit-crm to function it requires access to certain features of your phone. Here is an explanation of how we use each.

Your location

Knowit-crm requires your location for GPS tracking.

Network communication

Knowit-crm uses a connection to the internet to receive accurate elevation and gradient data; for determining the start and end place names of your ride; for sharing your rides on Facebook; and, if you have Knowit-crm Free, for displaying advertisements.

Storage

Knowit-crm saves temporary data and backup data to the SD card.

Phone Calls

Knowit-crm checks to see if you’re on the phone, or if the phone is ringing before announcing your current statistics. A loud voice announcement during a phone call would be annoying.

System Tools

Knowit-crm needs to prevent your phone from sleeping so that the GPS can be constantly receiving data. Knowit-crm also needs to be notified if the phone has just rebooted, to enable the app to restart immediately if the phone shuts down or restarts during a ride. If you’re not recording a ride Knowit-crm will never run in the background.

Hardware

Knowit-crm sometimes uses the vibrate feature of a phone as a notification.
